Tattva 33 — Air (Vāyu)
Air and wind: the element of motion, second of the five great elements.
Vāyu is the gross element of air — the second of the five great elements, the principle of movement, wind, and everything gaseous. It is denser than space but still light and mobile, and it carries the quality of touch. In the descent of the tattvas it unfolds from the subtle element of touch, taking the manifestation one step further toward solidity.
